This is not just illegally tearing down historic buildings. My father was an architect and a long time rule follower. He would constantly point out buildings that violated some code or ordinance that the builder/architect had knowingly violated. A prime location is the gated neighborhood they lived in at the beach. There were rules/ords that put limits on the height of homes. More often than not, they exceeded the height “oops, our bad, you can’t expect us to tear down the house???” or pushing property limits (which can be important when one boundary is a sandy cliff-side down to the sea). As with most things, money=rules do not apply. Glad to hear they didn’t blink, and are going to (try to) make him rebuild. Not sure I’d put a bet on it…
